On the plus side, the version of DragonFly on pkgbox is new enough to (I
think) avoid the hal issues, but old enough to avoid the reentrancy
issues. It's more than 3/4 of the way through a bulk build, so we
should
have a newer batch of packages to use. Maybe not exactly pkgsrc-2008q4,
but there's motion forward.

I hope that the package build on pkgbox is just to catch problems, not to
build actual packages. It always takes days to sync.

It's to build packages. You know this - you're mirroring it.

We do need to figure out a solution that fixes the delay in getting
material out. More bandwidth to dragonflybsd.org, or moving pkgbox to
someplace with a faster connection, or someone building (or letting me
build) on their CPU-and-bandwidth-rich system would be options.
